China's contribution to the box-office run
China has come up as the biggest overseas market for Zootopia 2, and has contributed around $610 million, making it the second-highest-grossing Hollywood film in the country’s history, just after Avengers: Endgame.
One of the major reasons for Zootopia's popularity in China is the audience's connection with Judy Hopps’ journey from a small town to a bustling metropolis. Later, Disney also opened a Zootopia-themed land at Shanghai Disneyland.
